  1. I can relate to what you are saying. It seems to me like you are a little loaded. But if i dare utter big words i would say love others in spite of what they might have done to you. Because, if i have to speak for myself, when i imagine myself doing what someone else has done to me, i can usually see myself doing the same thing. So it doesn´t seem to me like a question of who did what. But loving yourself is pretty sweet too. Also cute puppies you got there mate
  2. Confront your gf about this and do it as a spiritual practice
  3. Please excuse my manners. I sometimes find the lack of compassion and the amount of ego mastrubation going on in this server very disturbing, as does OP as he said.
  4. Also i normally try to be as polite as possible but here i have to say what is needed to say: Please shut the fuck up. How dare you speak in this manner when the OP is in such a sensetive position. If you were half as "enlightened" as you think you are you wouldn´t be spilling your poison on this vulnurable man.
  5. Hello Paul. I´m sorry you have to feel this way. I can relate to most of what you said. Please don´t hurt yourself. If you think medical care will make you feel better then get medical care. Remember, most of these teachings are meant to relieve you of suffering, not put you in more suffering. The first noble truth is that life is suffering, the third noble truth is however that there is a way out of suffering. I hope you´ll find your own way out of suffering.
  6. There is little to no turquoise audience on YouTube, if he wanted to reach an audience of more advanced people he wouldn't be on YouTube.
  7. Sorry but i call bs. It sounds to me like he is trying to mix in fancy words to sound like he knows what he is talking about while explaining bullshit.
  8. There are dangers to be avoided when dealing with chakras. Have a listen
  9. The message isn't, in my opinion, that nothing is real, but rather there is no difference between real and not real as long as it is in your experience, your experience is all there is. Your love for your family is real because you experience it, so is their love for you. That which beholds all this experience is the same thing but that is at least in this context not that important. If you hurt yourself, their sadness will be as real as it gets
  10. Opposite of enlightenment is becoming a hungry ghost
  11. People please tread carefully when replying to such posts. Man is talking about having suicidal thoughts. It's no place to mysterious or crpytical. Your being is all there is in your experience and so far in your paradigm you believe your ability to experience to be tied to your body. You do not yet have experience of what it is like to be "thoughtless" as you put it. Don't give away what you have for what you don't yet have. Don't take it too seriously at this point. It doesn't look to me like a healthy way to advance.

  13. Imagine a sincere practicioneer who has asked a question about x on the forum. Let's imagine what answers he would be likely to get: - X does not exist - X is an ideology/belief/concept/illusion - You are X - X is God - You are God (Holy non-dual trinity) - Who is it that asks about X - Unhelpful analogy - Example: How many legs does the ant have if you are in the kitchen? + I'm sorry I don't understand. - You are not supposed to, there is no meaning. Enlightenment just is. + But that wasn't what I asked about. - (Damn I'm so deep) Now let us consider the reasons of this behavior: - The person wants to be useful but for reasons he is unable to: Noble intention - The person wants to be not understandable on purpose so inside he can think he is above/more advanced (Stage teal/coral/turqoise/mammamia, enlightened, has attained buddhahood) and the person he is answering to is not as advanced as he is (filthy orange/green, not enlightened, not as "deep" ) : Egocentric intention Last topic i wanna touch on: My enlightenment/insight/trip/(dick) is more profound/intense/valuable/valid/deeper/(bigger) than yours. I think if your "enlightenment" is really that deep and for some reason you concluded the other person must know about this, you would also be aware of better /more masterful ways to express it (hint: insulting/belittling/my dick is bigger than your dick language isn't one of them) Conclusion: Please always ask yourself why you are saying what you are about to say and be honest, thank you. Sincere helpers, who i know are also plenty, please keep doing what you do. We like you
  14. Forgive me for pointing out but it seems to me like there is a my dick is bigger than your dick type of discussion going on
  15. I used to feel like that as well, but when you think about it there isn't a solid reason to think of being alive as the ultimate good and death as the ultimate bad. It is quite easy for us to feel that way because our desire to survive is very strong. But when i silence my need to survive, I can't really answer why staying alive should be any better than not staying alive. This isn't inherently good or bad but it is what it is.
  16. Hello Edouard. When we think about how we decide whether something is positive or not, we tend to take some factors into consideration. For instance it is a negative thing that the weather is bad because you might get wet and you don't want to get wet.(Getting into territory of opinion here) In a similar way you inherently want to keep going like you want to stay dry, so meaninglessness comes as a bad thing to you, when you remove the need to keep going or the need to stay dry, getting wet or meaninglessness doesn't look that negative. Their negativeness is relative to what you want inside.
  17. This is a very interesting experience. Thank you for sharing
  18. Because an "enlightened" human who is cocky contradicts himself while a barking dog does not.
  19. That is indeed a very interesting diagram, thank you for sharing
  20. This seems to be a phenomenon where individuals consciously or unconsciously repeat teachings they have listened to before without internalizing them ultimately seeking validation.
